IV.14: Distributions of Provider Type and Payment Systems by Age, Phase 1 Only, August 2003 - Contains two stacked bar charts for Phase 1 states only. The first chart shows the distribution of in-use Tickets assigned by provider type for each of nine recipient age categories. The second chart shows the distribution of in-use Tickets assigned by payment system for each of the age categories. The age categories are in five-year increments from 18 to 64, with the exception of the first age category, which includes ages 18 to 24. The percentage of Tickets assigned to the SVRAs decreases rather sharply from 96 for the 18- to 24-year-olds to 91 for the 25-to 29-year-olds. It continues to decrease with age, although more moderately, until reaching 86 for the 60-to 64-year-olds. The percentage of Tickets assigned under the traditional payment system mirrors this pattern; age groups with a high proportion of Tickets assigned to SVRAs also have a high proportion of Tickets assigned under the traditional payment system.
